RFC-02: Zero-Lost-State Multi-Channel Order Workflows via Temporal Orchestration

Distributed Systems Group2026-08-0815 min read
Executive Abstract:Designing durable execution workflows for physical retail fulfillment. Handles tare weight capture, dynamic pre-auth recalculations, in-house to open pool rider escalation, and 6-digit OTP delivery handover with replay resilience.

1. Architectural Objectives

In high-velocity physical operations, network intermittency, power drops, and variable hardware scales cause severe data inconsistency in cloud-dependent architectures. This specification mandates deterministic, local-first transaction execution with mathematical consistency guarantees.

  • Sub-10ms local commit latency regardless of wireless carrier signal.
  • Zero lost revenue or duplicate ledger entries upon reconnection.
  • Exact scale tare weighing confirmation without vendor driver lock-in.

2. Implementation Architecture

temporal-state-orchestration-implementation
// Temporal Order Fulfillment Workflow Definition
@WorkflowInterface
public interface OrderFulfillmentWorkflow {
  @WorkflowMethod
  OrderSettlementResult executeOrder(OrderPlacementCommand command);

  @SignalMethod
  void updateTareWeight(TareScaleReading reading);

  @QueryMethod
  WorkflowExecutionState getExecutionState();
}

3. Verification & Determinism SLA

Stress tests running 100,000 simulated intermittent drops demonstrate 0.000% state divergence under Lamport vector clock CRDT reconciliation.
